Good Salmon

Not everyone has the same expectations for smoked fish. Some people prefer it smoked to a crisp; other people prefer smoked fish that is nearly raw. The folks at Seabear seem to have found a good in between place.



I've used this product several times and have always enjoyed it. The salmon is smokey and flavorful flakey firm and tasty. The salmon ships in foils pouches each containing a couple of ounces of salmon oil. You can pour it down the drain if you prefer a drier fish (but that's a lot of good omega-3 fatty acids to waste). Used in salmon pasta with a little olive oil sundried tomatoes and a little black pepper (let it sit over night in the fridge for the flavors to mix) it is a summer favorite. If you like your smoked salmon moderately moist yet firm Seabear is a good choice.More detail ...

A Matter Of Preference

I like sardines much to my wife's dismay. I can eat them right out of the can. However skinless and boneless they have to be and that is becoming an expensive variety.



How nice it was then to find that Amazon is selling the Reese brand at very attractive prices. I've tried both the 3.75 and 4.375 oz cans in olive oil of course--purchase 30 or 40 cans at a time--and have been quite well pleased.



I prefer the larger can. In my experience the 4.375 is packed with smaller sardines that tend to have a more delicate taste. At least that was my opinion respecting those that are netted and packed in Morocco as most sardines that I have been buying are.



That brings me to the single problem I encountered in a recent purchase of the 4.375 oz Reese product. While the web page for it called it out as a product of Morocco what arrived was a product of Portugal. The box graphics as shown on the website was different too and the sardines were larger and firmer than those of Morocco.



Although still tasteful and a great value too I prefer the Moroccan variety. It's that more delicate taste that I seek. For most and for me as well the product source is certainly a minor point but I did call the issue to Amazon's attention.



Amazon is great when it comes to feedback and actually seeks it but I do not know how my comments were ultimately dealt with. The website still shows the product as Moroccan and package graphics different than the packaging that I received.



Of course the website includes info and pictures that Reese provides. Reese probably shipped the Portuguese variety without advising Amazon of the change. It could be that I will not know what is actually being shipped until I make my next purchase.More detail ...
